Tech Five: Here come more iPhone 6 rumors

Oh, look, more Apple rumors. Let's look at the five technology stocks to watch Tuesday:

Apple. Add one more report that says Apple is going big with the next iPhone. According to Bloomberg, Apple will begin mass production next month on two models, one with a 4.7-inch screen and another with a 5.5-inch screen. The jump in size is significant compared to the 4-inch screen currently available on the iPhone 5s. Apple has faced pressure to make its smartphone screen larger with the growing popularity of bigger smartphones from Samsung, HTC and others. Citing "people familiar with the plans," the report says the phones will also be rounder and thinner than previous models.

Google. Company-owned Nest, fresh off its acquisition of security service Dropcam, is kicking off a developer program to encourage developers to think of ideas for using its Web-connected thermostats and smoke detectors. Meanwhile, with Google I/O around the corner, research firm App Annie says quarterly revenue for Google Play more than doubled compared to the previous quarter. Mobile and wearables will be key focal points for Google when their developers conference kicks off Wednesday.

Microsoft. The company is pushing hard for Macbook Air owners to trade in their laptop for a Surface Pro 3 tablet. A recent Microsoft Store promotion shows the company is offering as much as $650 to consumers who trade in their Air for the tablet, which starts at $799. The deal available at Microsoft stores in the U.S. and Canada is good through July 31.

Micron Technology. Shares of the chip maker are up 1.5% in pre-market trading after reporting third quarter profit well above Wall Street forecasts, CNBC reports. Overall, shares of Micron have surged during the past 52 weeks, more than doubling its value.

Amazon. The tech giant is adding free, ad-supported TV episodes for select series. Shows already available in Prime would drop ads for subscribers. The company also added content from HBO to Apple iOS devices.
